[Action - Campfire Post I] [Locked to people in Terra]

[nomerevessel.livejournal.com]

[Night has fallen and a small fire flickers in the dark, the only bright thing in a landscape that's utterly black. Terra has no moon and if there are stars, one cannot tell since the sky is shrouded by clouds. Mikoto is sitting cross-legged by the fire, her hands tucked in her lap.

This is a great place to camp, right? It totally is. Let's toast some muffins and have a chat.]

[ooc: Here is your first weekly campfire post! It's completely optional: your character can be tucked up in bed if you like, but this is a good chance to have some interaction that doesn't involve being attacked by dragons. Mikoto is available if you want to ask questions, but please feel free to threadjack and create as many subthreads as you like.]

Comments

Thank you. I...I must not dwell, however. There is much to be done here. If we allow ourselves to become distracted, it will be all the more difficult to reach our goal.

[Mjrn smiles a little in return.]

It was indeed hectic. My name is Mjrn.

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

Aye, likewise.

[Questions are forming in Mjrn's mind -she is never without them for long- when Serah's comment abruptly sidetracked her. She stares at the girl in surprise for a moment, then a self-conscious smile forms.]

I...thank you. You have not Viera in your world?

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

[Mjrn's heard plenty of rabbit jokes by now, said by ignorant and hateful people. Serah doesn't say it in an offensive way, so Mjrn's kneejerk response doesn't happen. She even smiles a little at that last part.]

I...thank you. Few Viera there are in Gaia as well, taken from Ivalice. I cannot fault you for being unused to my kin for not often to they show themselves.

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

Aye.

[She smiles a bit at that.]

It is what I enjoy about Gaia the most. There is much diversity and thus, much to learn from all who dwell within.

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

[Mjrn nods eagerly.]

There is much I do not understand, but I wish to learn all that I may. The Wood...it lacked such opportunities. I will not allow them to pass me by now.

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

...not as bright?

[Mjrn tilts her head, curious.]

What other differences exist?

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

Is there Mist, as well?

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

[Mjrn shakes her head.]

It is not fog, though great quantities of Mist can appear as such. It is energy, the source of magick. It settles in stones and when the energy is withdrawn, may be harnessed.

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

But...how does your magick function, then?

[The thought of it not being around at all obviously doesn't occur to her.]

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

[Mjrn straightens, concerned.]

I meant no offense. If you wish not to elaborate, you need not.
